On 22 September at 8.30, Allard Pheifer, Group Lead Sustainability, CHG-Meridian, will join Andreas Wenzel for a coffee and share his insights.
As digitalisation and AI continue to accelerate, companies are under growing pressure to invest in new technologies while reducing their environmental impact and using resources more efficiently. Rapid innovation cycles are challenging traditional approaches to technology ownership, investment and replacement. At the same time, circular technology management and new usage models offer opportunities to extend the life of technology, preserve its economic value and combine sustainability with greater flexibility and commercial value.
CHG-MERIDIAN is a global technology company that develops, finances, and manages customized technology usage models for the IT, industrial, and healthcare sectors. For decades, the company has financed and managed technology throughout its lifecycle – from deployment and use to refurbishment and second life. Active in more than 30 countries, CHG-MERIDIAN has been combining technology management with the principles of the circular economy for more than 45 years, helping organizations use technology more flexibly and efficiently.
The topics for the 30-minute talk will be:
- AI and the new technology investment cycle
- From ownership to circularity – changing the economics of technology
- AI and data – making circularity smarter and commercially relevant
- Scaling the model – circularity as a European competitive advantage
